The correct answer is:
$10 \mathrm{~cm}$
The magnifying power of a telescope is given by
$\begin{aligned}
& m=\frac{f_0}{f_e}=5 \\
& f_0=5 f_e \\
& f_0+f_e=60 \mathrm{~cm} \Rightarrow 5 f_e+f_e=60 \\
& 6 f_e=60 \Rightarrow f_e=10 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}$
The focal length of its eye piece, $f_e=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\begin{aligned}
& m=\frac{f_0}{f_e}=5 \\
& f_0=5 f_e \\
& f_0+f_e=60 \mathrm{~cm} \Rightarrow 5 f_e+f_e=60 \\
& 6 f_e=60 \Rightarrow f_e=10 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}$
The focal length of its eye piece, $f_e=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
